1
00:00:05,443 --> 00:00:06,402
Twilight!
2
00:00:06,444 --> 00:00:08,070
Look at this scroll I just got!
3
00:00:10,156 --> 00:00:11,365
Do you know what this means?
4
00:00:12,742 --> 00:00:14,744
Uh, I don't.
5
00:00:14,869 --> 00:00:17,204
What's so exciting about a toy crown?
6
00:00:18,622 --> 00:00:20,416
This is no "toy crown".
7
00:00:20,499 --> 00:00:23,169
It's the hard-won helm of the Sibling Supreme!
8
00:00:23,335 --> 00:00:25,212
When Shining Armor and I were small,
9
00:00:25,254 --> 00:00:27,339
we competed over everything.
10
00:00:40,394 --> 00:00:41,395
To keep it friendly,
11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,857
our parents gave us gold stars
every time we did something special.
12
00:00:47,443 --> 00:00:48,652
Sharing...
13
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:52,448
getting good grades...
14
00:00:54,116 --> 00:00:56,243
even telling a really funny joke.
15
00:00:56,494 --> 00:00:59,705
And at the end of each week,
we'd add up the stars.
16
00:01:01,165 --> 00:01:04,376
The sibling with the most would
win the Crown of the Sibling Supreme
17
00:01:04,543 --> 00:01:06,962
— and bragging rights —
'til next time.
18
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:12,426
Guess that explains your love
of charts and so much else.
19
00:01:12,927 --> 00:01:16,055
I always wanted to be Sibling Supreme one day.
20
00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:18,891
Meet me at Celestia's castle to decide
21
00:01:18,974 --> 00:01:21,936
who deserves the crown once and for all.
22
00:01:22,103 --> 00:01:23,395
Race you there!
23
00:01:25,356 --> 00:01:27,942
Guess I'll watch the school?
24
00:02:13,696 --> 00:02:15,364
You're wearing it?!
25
00:02:15,447 --> 00:02:19,410
Look, I know you've always held a grudge
because I left home with this.
26
00:02:19,535 --> 00:02:20,452
Grudge?
27
00:02:20,619 --> 00:02:21,495
What grudge?
28
00:02:21,579 --> 00:02:24,081
Just because you've had it
for way longer than you should have
29
00:02:24,081 --> 00:02:25,875
and I never got a chance to win it back.
30
00:02:26,876 --> 00:02:28,544
With the return of Sombra,
31
00:02:28,586 --> 00:02:32,506
Princess Luna and I felt it was time
to reinforce the castle's defenses.
32
00:02:32,590 --> 00:02:35,301
I said we could do it ourselves,
33
00:02:35,342 --> 00:02:38,262
but some ponies are a bit stubborn.
34
00:02:38,929 --> 00:02:43,058
So I asked our old Captain
of the Guard to handle the job.
35
00:02:43,142 --> 00:02:46,604
I've taken the security here
to a whole new level.
36
00:02:46,687 --> 00:02:49,565
The only thing I need now
is somepony to test it.
37
00:02:49,690 --> 00:02:52,443
You want me to break
into Celestia's castle?
38
00:02:52,818 --> 00:02:56,030
If you can get past my defenses,
steal the crown,
39
00:02:56,155 --> 00:03:00,993
and get out,
you'll be Sibling Supreme forever.
40
00:03:01,535 --> 00:03:04,580
For-ev-er...
41
00:03:04,663 --> 00:03:07,833
But, if you fail, I keep the crown.
42
00:03:07,917 --> 00:03:08,834
Deal!
43
00:03:09,168 --> 00:03:10,753
Wait, are you sure this counts?
44
00:03:10,836 --> 00:03:12,963
Mom and Dad aren't giving us any stars.
45
00:03:13,047 --> 00:03:14,965
I will represent their authority.
46
00:03:15,049 --> 00:03:16,425
And thank you, Twilight.
47
00:03:16,508 --> 00:03:19,261
Your helps will reveal if there are
any holes in our security.
48
00:03:20,554 --> 00:03:21,513
And there aren't.
49
00:03:21,597 --> 00:03:24,058
I've designed a multi-tier,
impenetrable,
50
00:03:24,099 --> 00:03:26,435
triple-backed-up line of defense.
51
00:03:27,311 --> 00:03:31,523
The castle is surrounded by shards
of Queen Chrysalis' throne.
52
00:03:31,607 --> 00:03:34,276
Thanks to Star Swirl,
its anti-magic powers
53
00:03:34,318 --> 00:03:36,111
are now tuned to stop anycreature
54
00:03:36,153 --> 00:03:38,781
from using a spell to get inside.
55
00:03:38,822 --> 00:03:40,783
You can't fly in, either.
56
00:03:42,034 --> 00:03:46,205
Giant fans keep anycreature
from flying too close to the castle.
57
00:03:49,541 --> 00:03:52,878
Plus, the entrances to the tunnels
below the castle have been sealed,
58
00:03:52,962 --> 00:03:55,297
so there's no underground access.
59
00:03:56,257 --> 00:03:57,675
And even if you could get in —
60
00:03:57,716 --> 00:03:58,467
which you can't —
61
00:03:58,509 --> 00:04:00,177
I've double the ranks of security.
62
00:04:00,261 --> 00:04:02,888
Ponies protect every hallway and door,
63
00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:06,642
which can only be opened
with royal guard medals.
64
00:04:08,602 --> 00:04:10,396
Even if you brought an army,
65
00:04:10,437 --> 00:04:14,483
the throne room is the safest
spot in Equestria.
66
00:04:14,692 --> 00:04:18,404
I rigged the floor trap to activate
at the slightest touch.
67
00:04:20,864 --> 00:04:23,158
But say you avoid the floor —
68
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,454
still no luck because
I've employed nature's alarm system.
69
00:04:32,501 --> 00:04:33,335
Geese?
70
00:04:33,627 --> 00:04:36,839
You can hear their honks
all the way in Ponyville.
71
00:04:38,590 --> 00:04:40,050
Plus they bite.
72
00:04:46,682 --> 00:04:48,600
So that's what we're up against.
73
00:04:48,726 --> 00:04:49,226
Whew.
74
00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:51,562
That's a barrel and a half of obstacles.
75
00:04:51,645 --> 00:04:54,231
Plus a bushel and a peck of impenetrability.
76
00:04:54,315 --> 00:04:59,403
And all of this to win some fillyhood
competition with your brother?
77
00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:01,447
It's more then that!
78
00:05:01,613 --> 00:05:03,115
Okay, it's exactly that.
79
00:05:03,282 --> 00:05:05,492
And to protect Celestia's castle.
80
00:05:05,659 --> 00:05:08,871
If it means that much to you,
Twilight, we're in.
81
00:05:08,954 --> 00:05:10,122
I was already in!
82
00:05:10,205 --> 00:05:12,458
Come on, who doesn't want
to hang with geese?!
83
00:05:12,499 --> 00:05:15,127
Of course we'll help, but how?
84
00:05:15,377 --> 00:05:18,005
Shining Armor may have come up
with some great security,
85
00:05:18,047 --> 00:05:20,215
but he'll never guess Twilight's plan.
86
00:05:20,549 --> 00:05:21,925
We play to our strengths
87
00:05:21,967 --> 00:05:24,094
and defeat all of the security measures.
88
00:05:24,219 --> 00:05:25,763
That way, if one of us fails,
89
00:05:25,763 --> 00:05:28,349
the others will still have
a shot at getting the crown.
90
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:31,602
Pinkie, you'll distract the guards
with a surprise party.
91
00:05:31,643 --> 00:05:33,645
Yes, sir, Twilight, sir!
92
00:05:33,812 --> 00:05:36,899
Applejack, you'll buck your way
into the sealed tunnels.
93
00:05:37,066 --> 00:05:41,528
Rainbow Dash, if anypony can outfly
those wind turbines, it's you.
94
00:05:41,820 --> 00:05:45,574
Rarity, you'll sew us guard costumes
so we can sneak past security.
95
00:05:45,699 --> 00:05:49,203
Then Fluttershy will disable
the throne room alarm by charming the geese.
96
00:05:52,456 --> 00:05:53,999
It's from Shining Armor.
97
00:05:54,416 --> 00:05:59,129
Dear Twily, hope your idea isn't just...
Tunnels?
98
00:05:59,171 --> 00:06:01,006
He guessed your whole plan!
99
00:06:01,048 --> 00:06:02,132
What?!
100
00:06:02,341 --> 00:06:04,301
Pinkie party, Rarity costumes...
101
00:06:04,343 --> 00:06:06,512
Signed, the future Sibling Supreme?!
102
00:06:06,553 --> 00:06:07,971
Oh, come on!
103
00:06:08,931 --> 00:06:13,435
Twilight, darling, nopony knows you better
than your own brother.
104
00:06:14,061 --> 00:06:15,729
So you're saying I should give up?
105
00:06:15,813 --> 00:06:18,357
I'm saying your brother will win.
106
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:20,401
No matter how brilliant your plan is,
107
00:06:20,442 --> 00:06:22,861
no matter how many variations you try,
108
00:06:22,903 --> 00:06:24,655
it'll be something your brother expects,
109
00:06:24,738 --> 00:06:26,281
and he'll always win!
110
00:06:26,490 --> 00:06:28,117
Unless...
111
00:06:28,951 --> 00:06:30,994
When the perfect chance comes along,
112
00:06:30,994 --> 00:06:33,080
you do something he can't expect.
113
00:06:33,163 --> 00:06:35,207
Then you'll win.
114
00:06:35,332 --> 00:06:37,709
You've been practicing that speech,
haven't you?
115
00:06:37,876 --> 00:06:38,669
A little bit.
116
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:39,586
It felt like I rushed.
117
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:40,462
Did I rush it?
118
00:06:40,587 --> 00:06:41,713
Absolutely not.
119
00:06:41,755 --> 00:06:43,382
Oh, no.
120
00:06:43,424 --> 00:06:44,967
Yeah, it was fast-ish.
121
00:06:45,134 --> 00:06:48,512
We have to do the opposite
of what Shining Armor expects.
122
00:06:48,512 --> 00:06:51,974
Therefore, Twilight cannot
mastermind the plan.
123
00:06:52,182 --> 00:06:54,101
But I can!
124
00:06:54,852 --> 00:06:55,644
That's...
125
00:06:55,727 --> 00:06:57,604
definitely unexpected.
126
00:07:01,984 --> 00:07:05,195
Uh, how is you making a break-in plan
127
00:07:05,237 --> 00:07:07,531
the opposite of Twilight doing it?
128
00:07:07,781 --> 00:07:10,659
Because my plan is for each of us
129
00:07:10,742 --> 00:07:13,745
to devise our own unexpected part of it.
130
00:07:13,787 --> 00:07:15,581
Allow me to demonstrate.
131
00:07:23,714 --> 00:07:26,216
We're looking for a pony with information.
132
00:07:28,427 --> 00:07:29,428
We got questions,
133
00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:32,306
and you're gonna serve us up some answers,
juice jockey!
134
00:07:32,473 --> 00:07:33,724
Where is the secret entrance
135
00:07:33,765 --> 00:07:35,934
to the passages under Canterlot Castle?
136
00:07:36,059 --> 00:07:37,519
Shining Armor sealed 'em all.
137
00:07:37,561 --> 00:07:38,645
There's no secret entrance.
138
00:07:38,687 --> 00:07:40,481
There's always a secret entrance!
139
00:07:40,856 --> 00:07:42,858
So make like a glass of O.J.
140
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:43,650
and spill!
141
00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:46,069
I know what I can do!
142
00:07:46,695 --> 00:07:48,071
You're gonna need a lookout,
143
00:07:48,113 --> 00:07:50,115
so I can be your eye in the sky.
144
00:07:50,407 --> 00:07:51,617
Too slow, silly!
145
00:07:51,658 --> 00:07:52,701
Up here!
146
00:08:01,668 --> 00:08:03,045
Oh, Pinkie!
147
00:08:03,128 --> 00:08:04,254
That tickles!
148
00:08:08,592 --> 00:08:09,927
What?
149
00:08:10,052 --> 00:08:13,013
How about somethin'
a little more down-to-earth?
150
00:08:13,055 --> 00:08:15,265
Like, I distract the guard ponies
151
00:08:15,349 --> 00:08:17,768
with a farewell performance by my alter ego,
152
00:08:17,809 --> 00:08:20,896
famous country-western superstar Apple Chord!
153
00:08:21,855 --> 00:08:23,649
I didn't know you had an alter ego.
154
00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:26,235
And why would she be giving
a farewell performance?
155
00:08:26,485 --> 00:08:29,655
Well, it's a long story.
156
00:08:31,907 --> 00:08:33,742
Back on the farm, playin' music
157
00:08:33,742 --> 00:08:35,869
was about makin' her family smile.
158
00:08:39,206 --> 00:08:41,792
Word of her talent spread, and soon,
159
00:08:41,833 --> 00:08:44,503
Apple Chord was playin' real shows.
160
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:50,092
The more she played,
the bigger those shows got.
161
00:08:55,347 --> 00:08:57,558
But she missed playin' for her family...
162
00:08:59,393 --> 00:09:02,104
So one day, she gave it all up.
163
00:09:08,402 --> 00:09:12,322
Seein' her family smile was
all she ever wanted from her music.
164
00:09:12,447 --> 00:09:15,784
Of course, Apple Chord
could come out of retirement
165
00:09:15,826 --> 00:09:18,912
for a farewell concert this one time.
166
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:22,165
Wait, did you just make all that up,
167
00:09:22,207 --> 00:09:24,084
or did that actually happen?
168
00:09:25,502 --> 00:09:26,169
Doesn't matter.
169
00:09:26,253 --> 00:09:27,296
It's perfect.
170
00:09:27,337 --> 00:09:27,963
Fluttershy?
171
00:09:28,046 --> 00:09:28,589
Spike?
172
00:09:28,797 --> 00:09:30,966
Well, I guess the opposite
of what I'm good at
173
00:09:31,008 --> 00:09:33,802
is being in small spaces.
174
00:09:33,844 --> 00:09:36,346
I always wanted to be a super-spy.
175
00:09:36,388 --> 00:09:38,307
Is that the opposite of anything?
176
00:09:40,976 --> 00:09:44,396
Special Agent Fluttershy,
target detected below.
177
00:09:46,189 --> 00:09:48,525
It's almost too easy.
178
00:10:08,670 --> 00:10:11,173
I guess I'm the only one left
that still needs a plan.
179
00:10:11,256 --> 00:10:13,592
Oh, no, darling.
180
00:10:13,634 --> 00:10:14,885
That is the plan.
181
00:10:14,968 --> 00:10:17,012
You shall do nothing.
182
00:10:17,971 --> 00:10:20,766
Shining Armor definitely won't expect that.
183
00:10:37,074 --> 00:10:38,367
Applejack?
184
00:10:39,284 --> 00:10:41,203
What are you doing?
185
00:10:41,286 --> 00:10:42,746
Applejack?
186
00:10:43,664 --> 00:10:44,998
Who's that?
187
00:10:45,123 --> 00:10:47,167
My name's Apple Chord,
188
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:49,711
and I've got a couple of songs
to play for ya.
189
00:10:49,753 --> 00:10:51,338
Clap your hooves if you know 'em!
190
00:10:51,463 --> 00:10:53,507
And a one, and a two, and a...
191
00:10:53,632 --> 00:10:56,009
♫ My love is like a barrel ♫
192
00:10:56,176 --> 00:10:58,136
♫ A barrel full of hay ♫
193
00:11:02,432 --> 00:11:04,142
The Wonderbolts did a fly-by,
194
00:11:04,226 --> 00:11:06,269
and the only way past those giant fans
195
00:11:06,311 --> 00:11:08,438
and into the castle ducts is here.
196
00:11:08,605 --> 00:11:10,649
But there's no room for mistakes!
197
00:11:10,774 --> 00:11:13,068
Just like space travel!
198
00:11:13,777 --> 00:11:15,153
Uh, Pinkie?
199
00:11:15,195 --> 00:11:18,281
We're not actually going into space, right?
200
00:11:18,407 --> 00:11:20,117
No, silly!
201
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,452
I'm dropping you two off as soon as
we're close to the fans!
202
00:11:22,536 --> 00:11:24,955
Then I'm going into space!
203
00:11:30,544 --> 00:11:33,088
You're up to something, Twily.
204
00:11:33,213 --> 00:11:33,880
Nope.
205
00:11:34,005 --> 00:11:35,882
Just looking at the flowers.
206
00:11:37,926 --> 00:11:39,136
Right.
207
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,728
Maybe Rarity's plan will work!
208
00:11:47,811 --> 00:11:48,645
Canterlot!
209
00:11:49,271 --> 00:11:51,273
We have a problem!
210
00:11:53,859 --> 00:11:55,777
I know that one's a crowd favorite.
211
00:11:55,902 --> 00:11:57,696
What say we play it one more time?
212
00:11:57,821 --> 00:12:00,031
And a one, and a two, and a—
213
00:12:05,245 --> 00:12:06,663
A distraction's a distraction.
214
00:12:14,755 --> 00:12:16,214
Where's Spike and Fluttershy?
215
00:12:16,256 --> 00:12:17,799
Did they make it into the castle?
216
00:12:17,924 --> 00:12:20,093
They jumped out right
before the balloon went
217
00:12:22,429 --> 00:12:25,182
but that's all I could see
without being in space,
218
00:12:25,265 --> 00:12:27,309
where I didn't get to go!
219
00:12:28,268 --> 00:12:31,146
Let's hope Rarity and Rainbow Dash
had better luck.
220
00:12:34,065 --> 00:12:35,233
What's this?
Closed?!
221
00:12:36,693 --> 00:12:38,028
Oh, the seedy juice joint
222
00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:39,696
is always closed around this time.
223
00:12:39,821 --> 00:12:41,656
Then how are we meant to shake down
224
00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:43,658
ne'er-do-wells for information?!
225
00:12:43,909 --> 00:12:45,744
What sort of information do you need?
226
00:12:45,869 --> 00:12:48,038
Um, the location to a secret entrance
227
00:12:48,079 --> 00:12:50,332
to the passages under Canterlot Castle.
228
00:12:50,665 --> 00:12:51,583
You mean that one?
229
00:12:53,502 --> 00:12:54,252
Yes, thank you.
230
00:12:54,294 --> 00:12:55,587
That will do nicely.
231
00:13:01,802 --> 00:13:03,845
Zephyr Breeze?!
232
00:13:04,763 --> 00:13:06,932
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho, darling,
233
00:13:07,140 --> 00:13:09,351
this couldn't be more perfect!
234
00:13:10,227 --> 00:13:11,728
How is this perfect?!
235
00:13:11,770 --> 00:13:13,939
He's the most annoying pony in Equestria,
236
00:13:14,022 --> 00:13:15,690
and he's totally obsessed with me,
237
00:13:15,774 --> 00:13:17,859
and we have to come up
with a way to distract—
238
00:13:19,069 --> 00:13:21,696
Oh, no.
Oh, no-no, no way!
239
00:13:27,619 --> 00:13:28,119
Wha...?
240
00:13:28,161 --> 00:13:29,246
Rainbow!
241
00:13:29,371 --> 00:13:31,915
I knew you'd come running
once you heard I got this job!
242
00:13:31,998 --> 00:13:34,668
The mares love a pony in uniform,
am I right?
243
00:13:34,835 --> 00:13:36,127
Not really.
244
00:13:40,715 --> 00:13:43,426
I mean, eh, totally.
245
00:13:43,510 --> 00:13:48,056
Why don't you step into the light
so I can see how... ugh...
246
00:13:48,139 --> 00:13:50,308
handsome you look in it?
247
00:14:01,194 --> 00:14:04,739
I told the sarge that gold kinda clashes
with my aura,
248
00:14:04,823 --> 00:14:06,950
but apparently,
they aren't big on input.
249
00:14:06,992 --> 00:14:10,328
Still, I totally managed to rock the look,
don't you think?
250
00:14:10,704 --> 00:14:11,454
Yep.
251
00:14:11,913 --> 00:14:14,499
You're real guard material.
252
00:14:14,666 --> 00:14:16,126
I'm part of the castle team now,
253
00:14:16,167 --> 00:14:19,880
so I'm basically— Whoa!
We got a swooner!
254
00:14:20,797 --> 00:14:22,424
It's good you're finally being honest
255
00:14:22,465 --> 00:14:23,884
with your feelings for me, Rainbow.
256
00:14:24,050 --> 00:14:25,051
Blech.
257
00:14:25,552 --> 00:14:27,554
The truth is such a gift.
Like,
258
00:14:27,596 --> 00:14:30,432
I had to follow my bliss to see
guarding is my calling.
259
00:14:30,515 --> 00:14:31,349
Like, look at me go.
260
00:14:31,433 --> 00:14:33,560
I'm gonna walk over here, and I go whoo!
Over there!
261
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,769
And I go,
"Yeah!" and sometimes,
262
00:14:34,853 --> 00:14:36,271
I just stand like this and look real cool,
263
00:14:36,313 --> 00:14:37,606
and I go down the hallway and go...
264
00:14:48,950 --> 00:14:51,202
We'll have to glide to the throne.
265
00:14:51,244 --> 00:14:52,829
No flapping.
266
00:15:06,468 --> 00:15:07,677
Sister!
267
00:15:07,761 --> 00:15:12,766
Another false alarm
from Shining Armor's guard geese.
268
00:15:14,809 --> 00:15:16,186
We should have heard by now!
269
00:15:16,269 --> 00:15:17,646
Something must have gone wrong!
270
00:15:17,729 --> 00:15:19,356
Probably several somethings.
271
00:15:22,233 --> 00:15:24,277
No lookout, no distraction,
272
00:15:24,402 --> 00:15:26,404
and no word from the ponies inside!
273
00:15:26,446 --> 00:15:30,116
I'm starting to think this whole operation
might be a giant flop!
274
00:15:38,249 --> 00:15:39,084
Oh no!
275
00:15:40,293 --> 00:15:43,338
Gee Fluttershy,
I thought your whole small spaces thing
276
00:15:43,421 --> 00:15:45,256
was just part of the plan to be unexpected.
277
00:15:45,465 --> 00:15:47,926
Once I got trapped
in the Castle of the Two Sisters,
278
00:15:47,968 --> 00:15:50,011
and Angel Bunny and I were separated!
279
00:15:50,095 --> 00:15:53,223
Now whenever I'm in a tiny room,
it's all I can think about!
280
00:15:53,306 --> 00:15:56,559
I was so worried he felt alone and forgotten!
281
00:15:56,851 --> 00:15:58,687
I know what that's like.
282
00:15:58,853 --> 00:16:00,522
What do you mean?
283
00:16:00,772 --> 00:16:02,774
I was always excited to be part
284
00:16:02,857 --> 00:16:04,859
of Twilight's and Shining Armor's rivalry,
285
00:16:04,901 --> 00:16:06,569
like I was their little brother!
286
00:16:06,778 --> 00:16:09,072
But they never really thought of me that way.
287
00:16:09,197 --> 00:16:11,574
I know they both have a special place
288
00:16:11,658 --> 00:16:12,867
in their heart for you,
289
00:16:12,993 --> 00:16:15,912
but sibling dynamics are hard,
trust me.
290
00:16:16,079 --> 00:16:18,039
Right, Zephyr Breeze.
291
00:16:18,081 --> 00:16:19,874
Honestly, he could learn a lot
292
00:16:19,916 --> 00:16:22,168
from you about being a little brother.
293
00:16:23,628 --> 00:16:26,881
I am sick of being lost
in these slimy corridors too,
294
00:16:26,965 --> 00:16:29,259
but you shouldn't pull every lever
you come across!
295
00:16:29,342 --> 00:16:30,844
Half of them are traps!
296
00:16:30,927 --> 00:16:34,556
And the other half might
open a secret passage to the castle!
297
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:36,558
It's not worth the risk!
298
00:16:36,641 --> 00:16:37,392
Oh, hello Spike.
299
00:16:37,475 --> 00:16:39,811
Even if we do find our way back to the castle,
300
00:16:39,853 --> 00:16:42,105
we still have all of those guar-- Spike?
301
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:43,189
Fluttershy?!
302
00:16:44,274 --> 00:16:46,776
Uh, what are you guys doing down here?
303
00:16:46,901 --> 00:16:49,070
We, uh, kind of fell through the floor.
304
00:16:49,112 --> 00:16:51,114
I don't think our plan is working.
305
00:16:51,239 --> 00:16:52,907
We've both hit dead ends.
306
00:16:52,991 --> 00:16:56,494
Perhaps we should return
to the surface and re-evaluate.
307
00:17:09,090 --> 00:17:10,759
What are you all doing out here?
308
00:17:10,842 --> 00:17:15,013
In retrospect,
our plan might have been too unexpected.
309
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,307
Every part of it failed?!
310
00:17:17,474 --> 00:17:19,768
Oh, now I'll never get the crown!
311
00:17:20,477 --> 00:17:23,646
Maybe we should go back to
doing things the Twilight way.
312
00:17:23,688 --> 00:17:25,899
You mean the totally expected way?
313
00:17:25,940 --> 00:17:27,442
It may not be a surprise,
314
00:17:27,484 --> 00:17:30,153
but you have a pretty good record
for planning things.
315
00:17:32,447 --> 00:17:34,115
Then I guess it's worth a try.
316
00:17:34,157 --> 00:17:35,241
Thanks, Spike.
317
00:17:35,366 --> 00:17:36,993
What are little brothers for?
318
00:17:37,035 --> 00:17:37,952
Okay!
319
00:17:38,369 --> 00:17:39,913
You all know what to do!
320
00:17:58,807 --> 00:18:01,768
At least one part of our expected plan
worked unexpectedly...
321
00:18:14,489 --> 00:18:17,575
To be fair, it was never
made specifically clear to me
322
00:18:17,617 --> 00:18:21,162
what 'guarding' actually means,
so this is on you.
323
00:18:24,249 --> 00:18:29,087
I'm strong, Twilight,
but not even I can buck through solid rock.
324
00:18:29,212 --> 00:18:31,756
That's why I brought a specialist.
325
00:18:45,478 --> 00:18:46,479
Next shift.
326
00:18:46,563 --> 00:18:47,897
You're on break.
327
00:19:03,288 --> 00:19:06,166
You've been flaring so hard!
328
00:19:06,332 --> 00:19:08,918
Who wants a feather massage?
329
00:19:10,795 --> 00:19:13,381
We mapped this out when
we got lost down here.
330
00:19:13,423 --> 00:19:17,010
The lever to the secret
hallway entrance should be...
331
00:19:17,093 --> 00:19:18,386
here.
332
00:19:23,308 --> 00:19:25,685
I can't believe this worked!
333
00:19:25,852 --> 00:19:28,688
I guess sometimes the best plan
is the one you expect!
334
00:19:29,647 --> 00:19:32,442
All I have to do now is fly over
and take the crown,
335
00:19:32,483 --> 00:19:35,111
and I'll be sibling supreme forever!
336
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,155
Not exactly.
337
00:19:38,489 --> 00:19:40,325
Oh, come on!
338
00:19:40,491 --> 00:19:43,119
Gotta admit, it was unexpected for you
339
00:19:43,161 --> 00:19:46,372
to do everything exactly
how I thought you would,
340
00:19:46,414 --> 00:19:47,707
but you should know by now -
341
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:51,419
there's no way to beat
the true sibling surpreme!
342
00:19:51,544 --> 00:19:53,463
I am sorry, Twilight,
343
00:19:53,504 --> 00:19:57,300
but it looks as though Shining Armor
has truly won the crown.
344
00:19:57,425 --> 00:20:01,888
That's the thing about looks -
they can be deceiving.
345
00:20:01,971 --> 00:20:03,139
Spike?!
346
00:20:03,223 --> 00:20:05,391
How in Equestria did you do it?!
347
00:20:05,516 --> 00:20:08,853
Come on, you two don't think
you have the only sibling rivalry!
348
00:20:08,895 --> 00:20:11,272
I had an inside pony help.
349
00:20:13,483 --> 00:20:15,860
It wasn't hard to miss
there were some disagreements
350
00:20:15,902 --> 00:20:17,779
on the whole security thing.
351
00:20:18,363 --> 00:20:20,865
I said we could do it ourselves,
352
00:20:20,990 --> 00:20:23,743
but some ponies are a bit more stubborn.
353
00:20:23,826 --> 00:20:26,996
So while Shining Armor went
on and on about
354
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,500
his improved security measures,
Luna and I struck a deal.
355
00:20:30,583 --> 00:20:32,669
She put Zephyr in charge
of the catacombs,
356
00:20:32,794 --> 00:20:35,129
and helped keep Celestia
out of the castle hallways!
357
00:20:35,213 --> 00:20:38,925
Once Luna was on board,
I just had to do my part,
358
00:20:39,175 --> 00:20:41,302
and make sure we stuck to Twilight's plan
359
00:20:41,344 --> 00:20:44,097
so we'd all get to the throne room
at the same time.
360
00:20:44,347 --> 00:20:46,391
I knew Shining Armor would let it play out
361
00:20:46,391 --> 00:20:47,850
until the last possible second.
362
00:20:47,934 --> 00:20:50,645
Then, while everyone
was distracted by his gloating,
363
00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:54,565
all Luna had to do
was float the crown over to me.
364
00:20:58,653 --> 00:21:03,116
I, uh, apologize,
for not listening to your concerns, sister.
365
00:21:03,199 --> 00:21:05,285
It seems we need
to make adjustments to account
366
00:21:05,326 --> 00:21:08,496
for threats inside the castle,
as well as out.
367
00:21:08,579 --> 00:21:10,039
If you agree?
368
00:21:10,123 --> 00:21:12,750
If you think it's worth discussing.
369
00:21:13,501 --> 00:21:19,424
So, if Twilight and Shining Armor failed,
who gets the crown?
370
00:21:21,259 --> 00:21:23,970
The true sibling supreme.
371
00:21:24,012 --> 00:21:25,305
Spike.
372
00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:26,139
Huh?
373
00:21:26,222 --> 00:21:28,808
The little brother we've always had.
